If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers

About Me

My philosophy: I've come to believe that there are three elements that are essential in creating harmony and peace in your life. Those elements are to have love, forgiveness and respect for yourself and others. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------Stuff I do: I am a San Antonio based photographer. At present I am also part of a songwriting team with Monica Wright. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------Other things: I love music ... I have big cheeks ... I take my self seriously only when I must. I live small in a big way! I love being sarcastic with friends who know I'm really a sweetie in disguise. I love making people feel at ease. I don't like cussing, but I'm not above it if I think it will be funny in a shocking sort of way. I pretend gracefulness because I admire it, but I'm a goofball deep down. I make a huge effort never to lie to myself or others. If I ever have a hypocritical thought, I usually catch myself immediately and apologize to myself for thinking it. I expect to be decent to others and for them to be the same to me. I secretly love computers and the internet, but I prefer a more tactile life. I am mostly courteous and accomodating. Once I love someone, I will always love them. I'm forgetful, so forgiving :) I've worn makeup since I was 13. I love shopping for clothes and when I have money I am usually generous with it. I own a lot of clothes, but that's mostly because I have three sizes in my closet at all times, just in case. I've never done any illegal drugs and I plan never to do them. I don't mind wading in the shallow waters of thought, but have the skill to go deep. I admire intelligence, but I adore humor more! I enjoy each moment as it comes. Some of my favorite memories are complicated and stem from laughter that arose from grief. I like helping people find their way to their hearts and minds. The world is my playground and I like playing in it.--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- P.S.

The uncomfortable truth

To me, a meaningful punch is far better than a false embrace.
